Can german police track your phone if u disappear and they know you are suicidal?

[Unrecognizable7]

Basically title. I wanna travel somewhere for ctb and im afraid they'll catch me. Is switching sim cards enough or do i have to stop using internet and google etc? I live with my dad.

Yes, it's not hard for law enforcement to track your location using your phone number.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

As far as I know, not if it's turned off.

 

[wait.what]

Is there a reason you can't just leave your phone at home? If you must have a phone on you, can you get a burner phone? I admit I don't know much about burner phones' availability in Germany.

Yes, you can get easily tracked, if you really need a phone you will need to buy a burner one with cash. And make sure you don't link that phone to any of your personal bullshit
Also, this should be obvious but don't put the same sim you have

Its mainly because i want to listen to music

If you are connecting to networks yes. Wrap the phone in aluminum foil.

Enable airplane mode before you leave.

Your phone's location can be tracked from pinging off cell towers. If you turn it off or leave it you should be okay.

Its mainly because i want to listen to music

You could always get an mp3 player and load your music onto it. Or like others suggested, a burner phone, though I would caution against any device with internet connectivity.
